We shouldn´t blame Ubisoft for all those unfinished games. It´s not crap, it´s TRADITION!

Now, I may be a defender of SH5, but I disagree with you on this one tonschk. The early games will never be over. There are many who talk about firing up some real old subsims, and that they still love em. And, I am sure that SHIII and SHIV will continue to be modded for a long time to come, though it may be less and less over time.

I myself started with SHIII soon after it came out and I have seen its bad side, but it was my first subsim ever. I know that there is no way I could ever think of SHIII as dead. Just because you think that SH5 should or will become the number one subsim(as I do), does not mean the others have to left in the dust.

We all agree it's beautiful. Can you say what else it has to offer? When do I get my Type II? When will it have more than 80 different merchant classes? Maybe the future does belong to SH5. I certainly hope so. But for the present they won't even let some of us play it.

Oh, and those .png pictures eat up a lot of bandwidth and take forever to load.

I have "Silent Service II" on my HD, have to use Dosbox to run it. This was the first Subsim that i ever played. I still fire it up every now and then, for nostalgia.

Earlier today I was playing Aces Of The Deep.

That's what I am talking about, I see no reason why those of us who want to play the older games would not be able to. They are still fun. But, some people seem to think that SH5 is some sort of subsim eating monster out to get everyone. It's not like SH5 will stop UBI from supporting their earlier games, they already did that without it.

Silent Hunter III Works from 39 to 45, good AI, many ships, and no Online DRM!! etc etc.

That's the point - they haven't been twiddling their thumbs. Don't forget, they worked on four patches for SH3, then started work on SH4, five patches and an add-on later they started on SH5, and have since added two patches to that. They've been pretty much at it non-stop since SH3 was released, if not then definitely since April 2006 (if we grant that some, such as Dan, may have been involved in "Blazing Angels" development between the last SH3 patch and SH4 development starting around then).

Im not convinced... at the moment theres nothing that sh5 does that sh3 doesnt (cept the gfx of course) and there are a whole bunch of things that sh3 can do that shv doesnt, like a full dynamic campaign etc.

The only thing i can think of that shV has that sh3 doesnt is the crew interaction/rpg stuff, which would be brilliant if it wasnt so limited in what they say, you can only have the same conversation so many times!

+Shv kind of went downhill for me after a saw a German flagged liberty ship!

O-rly? By a mod? I stopped playing sH4 because even after the Uboat PAID patch... there was still very little pitch and roll, and the boat still came out of the water.

Again..not to beat a dead horse.... I remember the first time playing GWX I almost felt sea-sick!

If FREE modders could figure out how to make a sub behave realistically...then why couldnt the DEVS to it in 5 years of development, money, and the source code.

Robbo.... we all know they were not just sitting around doing nothing. But the appearances of SH3 bugs in SH5 make one THINK "WTF were the devs doing?"

You know as they say ....appearences are everything.

They were in SH4, so I expected them in SH5.

LOL.... how true. Why should I expect anything different in SH5 when UBI and devs proved they were quite capable of bringing in all the bugs from SH3 to SH4, PLUS introducing new ones.

I was just full of wishful thinking that they would have realized..."Hey.. modders fixed this with both sH3 and 4... I wonder what they did..." Silly me

With that said.... I will be watching the mod forums. Please turn this Turd into a beautiful princess that I know she can be
